Geezus they called that a hit. Look, if a guy hits it right into the shift it is an ERROR. This isn't Little League. he hit it right into the shift.

I guess I'm in a grumpy mood, but look at the pathetic crowd. And it's all baseball's fault. Who in their right minds want to see Chicago play the KC Royals? My gosh how could the owners agree many years ago to play teams in their own division so many times. It's absurd. There's just no reason for a Chicagoan to even consider going to tonight's game.

There can't be more than 5,000 fans in that stadium tonight. Is there 5000?

Santana is chucking meat.

I can‘t figure out why they decided to call Santana up. He looks awful. Would rather see what we have in Banuelos or give Covey one more shot than trotting out a washed up has-been.

He’s gonna give up a lot of those this year

Three pitches in and you can already tell it‘s gonna be a long night.

Hahaha great post.

And that is how you hit a 90 MPH fastball

Why is there a guy pitching that doesn't know how to throw a baseball

I said that when they signed him. It is fine if they kept him in AAA, but calling him up immediately is stupid. He'd get kilt in Charlotte with what he's chucking up there.

What a total freaking waste of 4 mil dollars.  No idea what they saw from him. Stoney sounds pissed.

Crowds weren't that great in NY either, granted, the only player really bringing anyone in on that team now is Judge and the weather was shitty, but still. And it was a weekend.

Imagine going up there with an 88 mph heater and throwing nothing but that

Cease cant get up soon enough

^^^^^^^^^

It's fine if they give him the mop up role, but move Banuelos into the rotation ffs. 

What a bum.

Only Bartolo can do that successfully.

Always remember the money Hahn spent on these bums.

$4.3 million for Ervin Santana

$9 million for Yonder Alonso

$4 million for Jon Jay who isn’t even near playing

$17+ million wasted on scrubs.  Hahn is terrible.

He's this year's Shields. Only worse.

I do dig the Ervin Santana facial hair. Cool look.

I think Ervin is already my least favorite rebuild player. 

This is hilarious. 

Hahn should have just donated 45 million to charity this offseason. Better use of the money than these guys. I legit don’t want to ever see Santana again. 

Someone get off their ass and go to mound 

Another wonderful Hahn acquisition 

If Santana is bad after 6-8 starts, Mr. Cease will be ready to take his place. They can manage his innings with the big club.

This is all too reminiscent of James Shields first seasom with us.
